Homebrew Question Can't get Retroarch to run Mupen64 core

[DrDungus]

Hey guys, I hope this hasn't been asked before--I searched and couldn't find anything--but I'm trying to get Retroarch running with Mupen64, and it just crashes every time. I'm running Atmosphere 9.4 and my Switch is on firmware 8.1.0. I've tried holding down R while I click on the album to utilize all the RAM, and I even tried downloading a Retroarch Forwarder NSP file because I heard that also lets you utilize all the RAM. But nothing works. Every time I try to load the Mupen64 core, Atmosphere crashes (Error Code: 2168-0002 (0x4a8)) I can run other cores fine; I tried the SNES core and it loaded just fine. I know Mupen can have a lot of problems...anything I can do?

Did you extract the whole retroarch zip to the root of your SD card?

Don't run it from the NSP, run it by opening any game (NOT the album and holding down R to access the Homebrew menu. Then run Retroarch.

I was using the regular one, but I did download something called mupen64plus Dynarec Beta (from this video: ), and it actually loaded for me. But after I get it to load, I still can't load my Ogre Battle 64 rom. Even then, this version only loads like every other time.

Is it possible something's going on with my install and I should try re-installing Atmosphere and Retroarch?
